Kenton Oliver for ALA President - the only candidate who supports teacher librarianship

Hi. Feel free to use as you wish. I'm not advocating a particular candidate, but in this case, I wanted to let all ALA members know that Mr. Oliver is the only candidate who appears to be an advocate for us (based on his platform that appeared in "American Libraries"). He supports our instructional/certification efforts as well as opportunites for paraprofessional certification of aides as well.

If you haven't voted yet, please use this important piece of information in your decision-making.

Well, I have not voted yet but something like this makes me question the integrity of an individual running for ALA president. I think I know where my vote will go!
